In the center of the action
One wheel in front, two behind, you in the center of fun: the riding dynamics on the KETTWIESEL ALLROUND make you want to zoom off and around the next hair-pin turn. The low seat and its position between the rear wheels add up to perfect road-holding; the low weight and race-bike gear system from Shimano make for strong acceleration, and the KETTWIESEL geometry translates into adrenaline-pumping corners – if that’s how you like it. You can also adjust the angle and firmness of the mesh seat for the pilot.
The trike is designed for intuitive riding: the rider’s hands fall naturally onto the infinitely adjustable under-seat handlebars, gears are shifted just as naturally with a twist shifter, and the Avid disc-brake system on the rear wheels stops the action with force, whenever necessary. With the Quick Stick hubs by Marec Hase, the rear wheels can be popped off in a jiffy. Even smaller? In a few more steps, any KETTWIESEL can be made small enough for a compact car.

Pinology: the science of dual mobility
Family taxi, team touring bike, luxury limo – the PINO ALLROUND is the world’s most flexible tandem. Thanks to the tube joint, specially developed by Marec Hase, the exceptionally stiff aluminum frame with extra-wide tubes can be reduced to luggage size in no time at all. With a second freewheel in the drivetrain, the stoker in the front can enjoy an occasional rest with her feet in the pedals. Under her seat, the Spinner suspension fork guarantees a smooth ride, even when the road turns rough.
Thanks to the unique positioning of the two seats, the tandem team can converse as casually as if they were chatting on a sofa. With the optional Children’s Crankset, kids as small as approx. 90 cm (35”) can become PINO pilots: Run the little one to school, then continue on to your shopping errands. No problem at all: Because the PINO can also be navigated solo.

Electric tailwind and dry legs!
Environmentally friendly travel options are only feasible if people can use them comfortably in any weather. Like our KLIMAX 2K, which has already earned several prestigious awards: including the Eurobike Green Award, the iF product design award in Gold, and the red dot award for product design. In bad weather, a minute is all it takes to mount the Fairing, unfold it, and hop back into the dry cockpit. In heavy rain and snow, there’s the separate Rain Poncho. And from below, new splashguards keep your pant legs dry.
Uphill sweat-free thanks to electric tailwind. The 2K is a “pedelec”, a synthesis of human- and machine-powered mobility. The almost 200W Protanium motor in the front wheel pushes along as soon as – and as long as – you pedal, up to 25 km/h (15 mph). This means: the 2K keeps its bicycle status (in Germany) – and you keep fit, with no overexertion. At the medium assistance level, a full charge will take you about 50 km (31 miles). The harder you pedal, the further you’ll get.
